Description
Why do people fall in love if they will eventually end up hurt? Lilith Jade Mendes has never been in love and doubt she ever will. Her parents are proof that all good things end and someone always ends up hurt. She has to get through college and graduate. She's gotten used to not looking at the bright side of life, just trying to keep her head above the water. Unlike Atlas Kai Markey. After everything he's been through he still has his famous smile plastered on his face. Always. He's the opposite of Lilith, full of light and warmth and so much hope. Although his terrible past threatens everything he's built for himself. When the unlikely pair meet one sunny afternoon it leads to a complicated friendship with even more complicated feelings. With both of them so broken and hurt, loving each other is both the easiest and hardest thing they've ever had to do. - - - - - "You want me to stay?" He's sitting on the couch, book forgotten. He shrugs, big eyes making me feel bad for leaving him. Ugh. He can't look at me like that. I turn around and walk to the direction of my room, "Come on Markey, you're already too big for the couch. Can't risk you having back problems can we?" I waddle to my bed, blanket wrapped around me and all. I sigh happily as I collapse onto my bed. Atlas lays down next to me. "Jade, you're taking all the blankets." "Sounds like a you problem." - - - - -
